@McHaggis Yea I pretty much agree with you there. I don't think homebrew is morally bad at all but do believe Nintendo have the right and should do whatever they feel necessary to prevent piracy etc.
Yikes though! Didn't realise the 3DS had anti hack,bricking issues like that.
@PipeGuy64Bit No worries, as I say, I was irate yesterday and probably come across a bit o.t.t bulshy.
@PipeGuy64Bit I don't think I'm morally better at all, sorry if it came across that way. Probably just my rage lol.
@catbox Right ok cool, thank you for providing an insight. See, I wouldn't know this. I wish some people on Reddit explained this to me instead of just downvoting me to hell and telling me their rights.
@McHaggis Same to you. Thanks for the insight!
I still don't feel bad for anyone who gets banned for doing things that they know could ban them though. Apparantly that's an uncommon opinion lol
@zever Yea that's pretty bull on Nvidia's part. It's a shame, I know most people won't want to pirate anything but if this is constantly being reported and becomes known to devs/publishers, it could be seen as another reason not to bother with the Switch.
Seriously, the attitude of most people I've seen who are pro hack don't help any matters. It's the exact same attitude people on the wrong end of the law are like, "That ruddy copper took me in coz I did 'X', it's not that bad, I can do what I want with my 'x'/life/whatever."
No...the rules are there for a reason. So we don't suffer. If you're gonna compromise something you're not supposed to or reverse engineer this and that at least fess up and admit it's not exactly pro-company and pro-consumer.
Edit 2: Obviously I didn't know the ins and outs of the below statement and others have provided decent feedback, therefore I retract the following;
Edit: And for all you pro hacking, anti piracy guys who say that finding security vulnerabilities can help improve a company's product and make it more secure actually believe that, why not just foward the information to the company instead of making it available to literally the entire world?
Why would you?
And don't give me "to discuss it further" as I'm pretty certain the company employees would have lengthy conversations with the person who discovered these.
@Petraplexity Exactly. Stay offline and away from my paid service please. I say innocent with sarcasm as I'll bet my hat over 50% of people who visit hacking sites pirate games.
I'm just a bit bitter after being argued the toss over on reddit that people who do anything against TOS should expect to suffer consequences and not get free passes.
I actually understand the pros of hacking but you can't deny the major con of eventual piracy end of. I actually dont care about piracy on older gens anyway but that's personal.
Also is that "literally immediately banned" in bold as you think it's wrong for Nintendo to do that? That's the attitude I've been getting off others and it's selfish and childish. (Not calling you this atm, just feel irate lol)
The whole homebrew/games argurment is pretty dumb as well tbh. Any old console, no longer online or any PC can satisfy anyone's needs until the current gen is no longer viable.
Imo: if you want to hack/mod and feel like it's your 'right', do it when the next console arrives and wait.
@1UP_MARIO Nah, you didn't say anything wrong buddy I was just stating how you don't need have have children either to see it's wrong! Aka: These people are ignorant. Sorry if I came across wrong
@1UP_MARIO I don't have children but I can grasp the basic concept of what's appropriate and what isn't and whether some things can not only upset people but shape the mindset and alter children's lives.
But that's probably because I'm not an ignorant twonk with zero empathy. (The hackers obviously)
There's the usual people on reddit saying how it's fine and bodies should be shown as they're beautiful etc etc.
I really don't understand how anyone can not realise the difference between pornographic content, showing media based idealistic bodies and over sexual behaviour etc for the purposes of sexual excitment and a tasteful artistic representation of the human form and say everyone is a prude and it's fine for children/a family friendly game.
Seriously?! The mind boggles!!
With also zero thought to how,if this was commonplace throughout a childs life, how it would make them believe both the opposite sex and themselves should behave.
Preordered and still excited despite a couple of issues I've not seen discussed before. I am still hoping that there's a Jp language/subtitles as it states on the shop page I preordered from 😅
So like, this is online only team based? I'm very predictable lol. Looks REALLY nice and I could probably get the other half involved/excited if splitscreen but a possible forever shutdown puts me off
Missed out on the last 2 Crashes, need to start playing again but still quite new to the game. Have to be Twintelle if I do get on, prefer Ribbon Girl's character but always lose miserably with her!
I know I just wouldn't bother personally if this ever becomes the case. Plenty of AAA titles from the past I couldn't even begin to complete in my lifetime.
I'm sure the younger generation would be on board but I reckon lots of people would quit and that would be a big hit.
Personally never had many issues with the current online and happy for it to come but a bit gutted I'll have to pay a family membership for a single switch just so the missus can keep her MK points and play solo every once in a blue moon.
MK is literally the only reason for us atm. And Pokken I guess but that's been benched.
Oof I'm barely sold on the GO games as it is. This could've swayed me more if they were reasonably priced but that is way too high for me. Maybe it's not the final price and just an estimate??
@Tulio517 That's kind of my hidden worry. They don't seem as bad as I first thought but if it sells well and provides a giant influx of people to move to mobile GO (which,as we know mobile games make stupid profit from skeevy mind tactics) it could entice Nintendo to head into the direction of making games to promote mobile games.
I mean...what if Animal Crossing Switch has special items unlocked only after playing pocket camp for 'x' hours!!
No one asked for my opinion but hey! My first thought was URGH! Combining mobile and console!
But watching the trailer... as long as the GO mobile game isn't necessary or an advantage (if there is online play which it doesn't look like?) then I find it ok and looks like a good idea to bring smaller ones and those not into Pokemon games much into the series.
I reckon I could get the wife excited with multiplayer pokeball throwing and not an overload of pokemon to remember. 😊
Never played a sonic racer so sort of intrigued, I kind of hope the cars aren't all "real" looking and have some fun cartoonish elements but I'm guessing the gameplay will make up for that.
Reckon the missus won't be that bothered though, MK obsessed!
I'm pretty much in the camp of this is a bad idea but for the major reason of how quickly the gaming industry takes on new things and #@$! consumers over.
A streaming service itself isn't bad per-se but it would quickly become the only option. I can still buy dvds etc.
Also,how often do you rewatch a film or series compared to replaying a game?
Guess it's dependant on each person. But it's all about future choice. I currently think there's too much online dependance and splitscreen abandoning as it is lol.
@Yosheel Are you certain about this? As I'm led to believe the previous generations (xbox 360) are getting the aquatic update as the final updates so would've assumed Switch legacy would before Bedrock also?? Or is it simply a case of it wont because they're pushing the Bedrock?
@Cyberdyne84 May I suggest one of the D&D adventure boardgames if you haven't tried them. Castle Ravenloft, Legend of Drizzt etc. A nice mix of easy die rules with dungeon exploring fun great characters. All games can mix and match and setup etc isn't too bad.
The missus and I enjoy them a lot and there's no stats to keep track of yourself. Everythings on the cardboard bits.
Very glad to hear this statement despite not owning a 3ds and even if it is just milking what they can from it. Some people simply cannot afford a switch (and games and accessories) especially per person and those who own a Switch or 5 and wish 3DS to die are just selfish imo.
@Lizuka with you there 👍 Could this just be a pokedex toy though? (Thats electronic) I hope I wouldn't have to shell out for extra bits after buying the game as well as the system,joycons etcetc. I love you switch but dayum!
Despite having zero knowledge of these characters (though I hear Cave Story is good so should prob pick it up?) I like me some casual fighting and with a playable cat? Well I'm pretty sure the missus will be on board 😁
NEED to play Arms, had a break after being sick so will be joining in at some point, (first one) Don't need a rank or anything do you,just casual right? I'm so bad atm I can barely hit anyone lol
Great idea and character designs but echo some others, the game graphics are not to my taste. If there are more exploring tasks than just zap this zap that it could be interesting 😊
@Zenarium That will certainly shift a few lol. Really happy about this, if slightly surprised of the worldwide sales as it is quite an investment. Go! Go! Nintendo!!!

Re: You'll Need Pen And Paper To Play This Nintendo Switch Role-Playing Game

Definitely simpler than something like Descent.
